Dodge Charger 500 Darlington

- Start date
Impound race this week. Looking at the veterans for value here.
M.Martin +1200 1 unit
J.Burton +3500 1/2 unit
Burton can get around this track. The only question does he have the team and equipment to do it? At +3500 he is definitely worth a shot.
M.Martin finished second last year to the 48. Another Veteran who can get around Darlington and The Impound only helps him. Mark is a master at saving his tires and thats what it will take to win this race.

Impound is when the cars are impounded after qualifying. No practice or major adjustments allowed. This is new this year, and is only done at certain races. Why they only do it at certain races is beyond me.
Last year you would have 1 practice, qualifying then two practices to make adjustments etc. You could work on your just about up to the race.
Impound race, you get two practices then qualifying then your car is impounded and you cannot touch it till right before the race. And then you can only make minor adjustments like Air pressure, tape on the nose, wedge and track bar. You can't change springs, shocks, camber etc. Like you can in a non impound.
It makes it tougher on the teams to the balance of a car that will qualify well and race well. Puts more of an emphasis on adjustments during the race instead of in the garage before the race.
In my opinion it favors the veterans a little more.
You can tell if its impound or not just by looking at the weekend schedule.

I would'nt be suprised to see Burton around +1500 before the race starts. Waiting on some info on Waltrip.
